Design

Over the last thirty years, Noble House Hotels & Resorts has recognized the inherent importance of hotel design, forging enduring relationships with architects, interior and landscape designers who understand our philosophy of embracing the unique aspects of each location.

While NH properties encompass a wide variety of styles and tastes, each entity is approached in the same way, by:

Discovering the heart and soul of each respective area,
Defining the history of the property,
Delivering an entity that reflects a fresh, contemporary destination.

Our Design department ensures that the vision of each property is evident in each and every detail, and that vision communicated to every department in order to deliver a consistent, continuous message that is indigenous, yet distinctly Noble House. In order to accomplish these goals, when embarking on a new project, the Noble House Design team will:

Meet with ownership to clearly understand their vision.
Express its own perspective.
Create a strategic plan to cohesively implement both.
Involve key management in the design process to ensure that the concepts are pragmatic and workable – and will endure.

Each project begins with the creation of an overall site plan; then progresses to furniture placement and scale; and culminates with finishes and remaining details. The Noble House Purchasing department has relationships with key manufacturers, and also has the power to negotiate volume discounts. By working closely with the Sales and Marketing departments, the design team is also able to impart the theme/motif of each respective property into all guest room collateral and amenities. Products for the entire NH collection are purchased through a single supplier that provides the volume to deliver significant savings. This national program allows the properties to:

Receive sizable discounts on operational supplies,
Promote outlets within, and at the same time, brand the entire collection under the Noble House umbrella.

A primary focus for the Noble House human resources department is to impart the company’s Core Values to each and every employee. These include: Smile, Speak first and last, Pay attention to details, Know your property, Anticipate needs, Resolve guest issues promptly, Thank guests and Have fun. In fact, everything Noble House does – from orientation and employee training to performance evaluation – reinforces these key points, and we consistently reward employees who embody them.

We believe that a positive work environment translates to a positive guest experience. To foster associate goodwill, Noble House even has a Corporate Director of Great People, whose job is solely to develop, train and support associates. Her total focus is to help associates successfully interact with our guests. In addition, every Noble House hotel has a series of associate relations activities, from themed cafeteria days to managers serving lunch on an associate appreciation day.
